F2B question

[skywalkerjedi 1]

F2b petition - my Mother in law petitioning her two adult (unmarried) children.  Priority date July 2015.  Her petition got approved.  They received the notice of Immigrant visa case creation and paid the AOS fee and IV fees ($120 and $325).   Should they start collecting the documents and send them to NVC?  or should they wait until their PDs get current?  Also, what are the documents needed from the petitioner?  can you help me out and link the civil docs needed from the beneficiaries?  Thanks in advance.

Start here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html and follow through the subsequent pages, it is pretty much a step-by-step of the process including listing all the civil documents you need. 

But yes short version is you don’t submit documents etc until the case reaches the “current for filing” date. Still a few years away, see table B of the visa bulletin.

Thanks! Will there be a problem if they submit the docs even if it's not close to their PD?

 

Can the petitioner submit their i864 now?

Can you elaborate on this?  so they're not interviewing applicants right now? PD will not move if that's the case.

Pointless, i’m not even sure you can but even if so it’ll be outdated and have to be redone anyway.

PD moves in the interim because adjustment of status is still possible for those in the US, but there is a huge visa backlog building up between the Covid closures and then the ban - so when embassies open fully and the ban ends, you can probably expect PDs to come to a screeching halt (if not retrogress) while they try to deal with the backlog. And there is only so much they can deal with - ban or no, the fiscal year quota doesn’t change, so they can’t “catch up” properly even if they had capacity to.

Hello i have a question. Im on the f2b category. Our documents were accepted BUT not documentarily qualified last june 20. We had a message saying Case Fe review note — does not meet minimum income so we added a joint sponsor. The documents were submitted last june 26, it has been more than 60 days and the nvc timeframes states that they are reviewing Documents submitted to them from june 30. Why aren’t our documents for joint sponsor accepted yet? Pls help.
